# BrowserAct

A scraping service where you describe the data you want in plain language and its agent builds, tests and saves a reusable scraper ('Bot') that runs in real cloud browsers, plus a local CLI that gives coding agents browser control; results come back as structured records via API, MCP, Make, n8n or Zapier.

## Rules for an agent

- Apps call the REST API at https://api.browseract.com with Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> to run published Bots or official templates; local coding agents install the CLI with `uv tool install browser-act-cli --python 3.12`; skills are MIT on GitHub (browser-act/skills); docs index at https://docs.browseract.com/llms.txt.
- Respect each target site's terms of use and robots.txt; do not collect sensitive personal data
- Do not use the product's CAPTCHA handling or stealth modes to get around a site's blocks
- Every step, browser and proxy GB costs credits; check usage before scheduling large runs

## Agent access

- llms.txt: https://www.browseract.com/llms.txt
- MCP: Per-account hosted MCP server at https://mcp.browseract.com/<id>/mcp/ (HTTP, Authorization: Bearer <BROWSERACT_MCP_KEY>), created from a published Bot's Integrations tab
